My comment. Good work by CODEPINK. The Congressman wants the public to accept that the U.S. backs and supports Israel doing any quantity and variety of war crimes against the Palestinians now, including mass murders, siege warfare, genocide and ethnic cleansing. Furthermore, the Congressman wants the public to either to be ignorant of, or support/accept Israel's occupation of Palestine as well as their ongoing oppression of Palestinians. Just like Nelson Mandela and MLK would have wanted.

To me the fun part is watching the Congressman squirm about being a representative of citizens who, all things considered, might not be willing to support any violence or injustice against either Palestinians or Israelis, excepting their respective militaries and armed combatants. Yeah, unlimited violence against and oppression of the indigenous brown Muslim people.

If you want to know why such indiscriminate violence is occurring now, long after October 7th, watch and re-watch this video. He's inspired. He's got reasons. And the elevator door can't close fast enough. Me: Palestinians deserve to live in peace throughout their ancestral lands. The American public probably do not want to support or enable mass killings of non-combatants, let alone siege warfare, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, or genocide. This guy: "No they don't deserve to live, period. There's a settler colonial project, post WW2 with its atomic bombs, where modern Israeli apartheid rules make 50% of the population people without rights."
